apparently captured by the 16th louisiana infantry, major daniel gober had this flag in his possession. the confederates report officially that they did seize one garrison flag amongst the many u.s. flags that they captured at shiloh, and then this flag would appear to be large enough to have been a garrison flag. personally i and other staff mefbs believe th members believe that this flew over john a. mcdowell's brigade camp, headquarters, which was part of sherman's division, right flank of the sherman division as it lay in camp around shiloh church. there's another union camp that they occupied at neat for the north, one of the brigades of mcclernan's division, it's a probably as well. but i think the highest probability is the 16th camp, mcdowell's camp, they were there for some time and i can see them taking this flag. and this was donated to the park years ago. from descendents of major gober. it's in good shape, showing that it was well cared for and stored. even though apparently this has been buried at one time in ground. that's the story. that's the family story. with a loved
